Since noone else has asked yet.

What Anti Virus is the pc running ?

she was using Avira antivir until yesterday but then bought an eset smart security liscence! I did a scan using the latter and found some worms but nothing serious!

I went through looking at your log and your system info. This is what I would do in your case, if it were never an issue before and "it just started happening":

Start by freeing up some more space on the C: drive get it above 10% above 20% would be nice or use a partition management utility to move some free space to the c partition. Defrag your hard drive, either use the windows defrag or use defraggler http://www.defraggler.com. You have windows vista, so it will manage memory just fine with the default settings.

If by defragging doesnt work, which I think it will, disable windows blinds. What is the deal with all of the nokia stuff? There seems to be a lot of miscellaneous software loaded on the system, you may want to get rid of it, ie. ma-config.com, registrybooster, spywareblaster, you have adobe cs3 and cs4 loaded on, acrobat pro and acrobat reader (pick one),etc. this system is a disaster.

I am not 100% sure of this file: c:\windows\system32\nbDX.dll

[Sulphy]

Are you using the default render engine in 3DS Max ??? there are other rendering engines for Max that are faster...

I usually use Mental Ray - http://www.mrcad.com/mental-ray?-37-autodesk-3ds-max-2010/

[Hazardous Pain]

thanks guys for your useful replies!

sc302: yes it's a very messed up system I don't know why she loaded all that :s as for nbDX it looked suspecious to me too and when you confirmed my doubts I googled it and found it to be a malware :s but the weird thing is that malwarebytes didn't see it! when I scanned the pc with eset it found 56 infections this boggled my mind! I've already done a defragmentation! As for nokia staff, she has one and installed everything from the cd!

@Sulphy yes she's using the default render engine, I will tell her to try Mental Ray as you suggested!! thanks for the tip :) and since you're a 3DS user, do you have any idea about this error message at the launching of the program? DLL<D:\stdplugs\DxPlugins\DxDDS.bmi failed to initialize error code 998. access to this placement of memory is not valid.

and thanks in advance for your valuable help :) very appreciated

thanks guys for your useful replies!

sc302: yes it's a very messed up system I don't know why she loaded all that :s as for nbDX it looked suspecious to me too and when you confirmed my doubts I googled it and found it to be a malware :s but the weird thing is that malwarebytes didn't see it! when I scanned the pc with eset it found 56 infections this boggled my mind!

Mental Ray won't be faster. It might be better if she learns to use it. MR is however horrible at handlgin large textures and becomes slower than rendering Avatar on a 286 :p

MR of the advanced renderers has the advantage of being included with MAX though. I think there's a free version of Brazil though. all advanced renderers will generally be slower than Scanline though(wich isn't really fully scanline anymore). they can just do some more neat rendering tricks to make their stuff look better.
